Degree(s): B.S. in Sociology with a minor in Philosophy

Favorite Course(s): Social Stratification & Inequality, Intersectionality

Something I wish I knew as a Freshman: I wish I knew that it's okay when things don't go as planned. It doesn't mean you failed if you end up taking a different path than the one you envisioned for yourself.

Why did you become an ambassador? Sociology is such an underappreciated field for how relevant and useful it is in today's world, and I want to help other students discover the love for it that I wouldn't have found without the right push.

What is your favorite memory from your time at UNT? My favorite memory at UNT was definitely when my friends and I discovered the hot tub at the Pohl Rec Center.

How do you plan to use your degree? I plan to go to graduate school and dive deep into social research to hopefully become a college professor someday.
